Now a days it's hard to keep my LO occupied and have some independent playtime. In the morning, after nursing him once he wakes, I grab my coffee and need a minute to myself to wake up (anyone else?😂) so I line a laundry basket with some blankets, his favourite toys (I change them up so he doesn't get bored) and he sits in it and plays while mama wakes up!

***Also, it's a great way to bring your LO around the house without carrying them. Keeps them occupied and happy while mama goes to the washroom, gets ready, does the dishes etc.***
